Did New England and the other 30 teams in the league NOT watch the Super Bowl?
Forget the additions and subtractions...rush Manning up the middle and get him OFF his spot, he's cooked. It IS that simple.
Seattle's Cliff Avril bull-rushed through Broncos right tackle Orlando Franklin and smashed into Manning as the Denver passer looked for Knowshon Moreno. The ball fluttered as Moreno waited for it to land in his hands, but Seattle linebacker Malcolm Smith sprinted ahead of the stationary Moreno to pick off the pass.

OK...let me put it THIS way... the entire lineup of adversaries Denver will face this season SAW HIM GET OBLITERATED. The tape does not lie...pressure him out of his little Omaha comfort zone and he's worse than MARK SANCHEZ. Let him stand there and hurl his flutterducks untouched and he'll run out of receivers before completions. Seattle has shown the league the way, you have to be a moron team to NOT emulate them in some fashion.
As a Patsfan moron I feel especially qualified to respond.
The problem is acquiring the talent in quantity to emulate SEA's unrelenting, energetic, from all sides pass rush.
I firmly believe that BB designs his roster to match up against his perceived playoff opponents. The youth movement along the line is expressly designed to pressure Manning. G'bye Kelly. Fast mobile disciplined rushers may also be effective against Wilson. I'd feel more comfortable if guys with the attributes some expected from Worthy and Quarels were to make the squad. Maybe they're already on it. I for one am jacked and pumped!
